'Amy' 2021 Barrel Fermented Chardonnay

Grapes grown in Lombardi, Italy.

Hand harvested then shipped by Renegade in refrigerated trucks at 2˚C direct to the London winery.

Wine fully made in London, UK.

Think Burgundy with a London twist. One for those who like the classics but appreciate things move with the times. The oak contact lends a creaminess to the wine with a lovely mouthfeel, still the wine maintains a freshness and minerality that strikes a gorgeous balance with ripe stone fruits on the palate.

50% of the grapes were whole bunch pressed and fermented in old oak ex Burgundy (90%) and new French oak barrels (10%).

The other 50% was de-stemmed by hand and fermented on the skins. Barrel aged for 7 months and went through full malolactic fermentation.

Weekly batonnage was applied to resuspend the lees. Bottled unfiltered and unfined with minimal additions of SO2 to prevent oxidation.

This wine, like all our wines, is vegan friendly. They are made without the use of animal based winemaking products.
